    Richard truly has the heart of a teacher. There are few I have worked with who really know how to convey the joy of making music to young people as well as he does. And as a violinist, much like his teaching, there is a warmth, exuberance, and positivity of spirit in the way he plays. He has developed a sound method of teaching through his ongoing interest in string pedagogy. He has my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation, if you are looking for a fun, caring, and knowledgeable music mentor and role model.
